I love Indian flavors a lot, a lot, and this twist on pizza with the simplified flavors of chicken tikka warms my soul. We’ve eaten this probably three or four times over the last couple months and it’s a success each and every time (totally one of those meals, like this one and Continue Reading

Please meet my new favorite appetizer. Main dish. Snack. Whatever. Simply fabulous, these bacon-wrapped chicken bites are perfect anytime, anywhere you want to serve them. Not just bacon and chicken, these tasty morsels are first seasoned with a zesty mix of herbs and spices and then the entire wrapped package is dredged in a mix [...]Continue Reading

A little personal confessional, if I may: 1) I’ve never actually had this dish at Olive Garden. 2) It’s been probably seven years since I’ve eaten at Olive Garden (is that a horror? I don’t really know since it’s been so long). 3) I made lots of changes to the recipe. 4) Since I don’t [...]Continue Reading

Super short intro for this fabulous recipe: Make it. How’s that for concise? I’d spend more time waxing poetic except that it’s my second son’s birthday today and I’m trying to figure out how to make his birthday meal request (we take birthday meal requests very seriously around here) without kitchen countertops or a kitchen [...]Continue Reading

My love for stir-fried Asian-style noodle dishes runs wide and deep. You’ve heard this a million times, but I just can’t help it. I love them.

And while it may not be the most gourmet meal ever, it is extremely tasty, especially if you scoop a bit of the sweet, [...]Continue Reading

This recipe is a total throwback to my youth. Except that, no offense to my youth, I’ve revamped the recipe to include an all-homemade sauce (thanks to a variation on this from-scratch cream of chicken soup recipe) and dare I say, this new and improved Swiss chicken bake with buttery, crunchy topping is just [...]Continue Reading

Since life doesn’t seem to be slowing done one single second, despite my desire to sit outside and watch the leaves change colors, I’m still all over the 30-minute, healthy meals. Might as well have something to look forward to even though 99% of the day I’m running around like a madwoman forgetting my [...]Continue Reading

So. Stuffed peppers. Do you love or hate? Until about, oh, say Tuesday of last week, I would have to put myself in the big, huge camp of those who greatly dislike stuffed peppers. As in, I don’t think in my long history of loving food that I have ever, ever craved a stuffed pepper. [...]Continue Reading
